Blogging Dog, Black Bella... Where fear and vulnerability are replaced with canine support and love

When Rhonda our human mom plays with us she says it is time to learn. We open doors with a rope and it sure is fun to do especially when she tells us how good we are and we get a treat.We get to pull Rhonda's socks off her feet - we love doing this. Rhonda says that when we get bigger our new human handler might need us to do this every day - wow - you humans sure have lots of clothes. Our dog mom just gives us a lick and our laundry is done!

Walking in a winter wonderland....Did you know that playing in the snow is one of my favorite activities. It is pure fun and it tastes good too!I asked Mom if we could invite some puppies over to play in the fresh snow. She said yes! So soon the patter of puppy paws - my little sisters, brothers, cousins and there were even a couple grown-ups dogs acting like puppies.Puppy Party!Mom is busy wiping up the snow we brought in on our feet - we don't mind getting snow on noses, toes and everywhere else!We are going to have a treat of yummy crunchy dried liver and then a big nap!

Time to make resolutions I will learn how to paint - watch for it in the months to come!I will run and play outside in a new kennel!!! Please help my dream come true and be our angel sponsor so that the TMAS Training Facility can open in 2012.I will listen more - maybe some young folks in your school want to practice reading? I am a great listener

Hello Everyone,

My name is Black Bella, Some people call me Black and some call me Bella, my Mom, calls me Beautiful. That is my picture on the right. I am a six-month-old Labrador puppy, and my birthday is July 3rd. My Mom is Rhonda and she said that I can be the official blogger as I am not being trained to be a service dog like the others here because I had an injury to my right eye. I am told that I don't have all my site in it, which means that I cannot see out of it really great. Mom says that I have a disability similar to some of the humans that my brothers and sisters are being trained to help. My Doctor who I really like said it cannot be corrected. That is OK because I don’t know that it is a disability, as to me, it is just the way that I see. I love to run on the beach chase the birds, and it is so much fun to play with all my brothers and sisters, and even all the dogs that I am not related to when we have puppy parties. It is also fun when we play retrieving games, and bring balls, pens and pencils and lots of fun stuff that Mom wants me to bring to her. Don’t tell Mom but I think she is a bit clumsy as she is always dropping things. I really enjoy helping her as I am such a good puppy. I help my Mom by picking everything that she drops. She always gives me a hug and tells me how smart that I am. One of my favorite things is to snuggle and give kisses or have my tummy rubbed. My Mom tells that I am just a big ol’ love bug. What ever that means, it OK with me.
